BIggest project ever that is coming on very bad selling system at end of life of that system, game that was delayed for whole year same like TP, and that will be launch probably in same time when new console will be launched (yes, I think NX is coming at end of this year) so its not same situation like Skyward Sword, it's far more TP situation. Zelda U not being Wii U exclusive doesn't matter at all, that doesn't affect nothing.

 

Exactly NOT. Skyward Sword was their biggest project. Was delayed 1 full year. Was released in the same year their successor was announced (2011). Now check Zelda Wii U. 

Biggest Project (x)

Delayed 1 full year (x)

Release in same year as successor announced (NX will be annoucned 2016, not released) (x). NOTHING hints a 2016 release. NOTHING.


NX will probably have NX handheld and NX home console, definitely will not be only NX handheld.

Maybe, maybe not. We dont know.

 

Actualy games are one of reasons why Wii U failed, Wii U had terrible launch titles and software droughts. All games you mentione arived on console after first year when Wii U already was dead, I will just bring fact that Wii U in its second and third quarter sold 460k combine WW, that is terible number for new console. Their strategie for NX definatly isnt "just release our big franchises" but its definatly part of NX stratagie, they need strong launch and first years titles, Zelda U port like launch title for NX in combination with new 3D Mario game (also very likly launch title) would be very strong launch titles.

Wii mostly sold because of Wii Sports buy in combination with new Zelda like launch title that was very strong launch for new console. Wii U has terrible launch titles, basically HD port of NSMB and Nintendo Land game that didnt had nearly same apeling like Wii Sports, Zelda U port and new 3D Mario would be very strong combination.

Wii was just as successfull as it turned out because of wii sports. Twilight Princess did almost nothing. Look at Gamecube, how it had great games (metroid prime, Mario Kart, Mario Sunshine and Winwaker hd (controverse), Smash and alot more) and also this sold almost as bad as wii u. Games are not the reason the wii u failed. The Wii U Launch Lineup was on par with Ps4 and Xbone.

 

Also Zelda is not their System Seller. Skyward Sword sold poorly (3-4 Mio on 100 mio install base). If they want software boost, they will bring Mario Kart 9, Smash 5, 3D Mario and Pokemon. Zelda is not a selling machine, nintendo have better franchises.

 

-Like I wrote, Zelda U and NX will probably be released in same year same like TP and Wii, that wasn't case with SS.

-Wii Sports bringed casuals but TP bringed core gamers  You are in delusions if you think that TP didnt had any impact on Wii launch. GameCube had all that but PS2 was too strong too compete with it. Like I wrote, Wii U had many problems, but very weak launch and 1st years titles are definatly one of problems Wii U had. Unlikly PS/MS Nintendo exclusives are selling Nintendo consoles, for comparison just look PS4/X1, 3rd party selling those consoles not exclusives. Pure fact is that Wii Sports and Zelda TP were much stronger launch titles than NSMBU and Nintendo Land, but you can ignoring that if you want.

-Zelda U can be system seller and more important title that will bring attention to new Nintendo console.Skyward Sword arrived on already dead console from which people for quiet time migrated to other platforms, also require Motion Plus addon, so not exactly same thing like being brand new, first HD, beautiful true open and biggest ever Zelda on totally new platform. 3D Mario will probably be at launch, maybe Pokemon also, they cant prepare MK9 or Smash for launch.
